[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minimum wages have increased.   That money doesn’t come from no where.  They must increase their costs. [/quote]
People keep repeating this as a reason for high prices. but the fact is that corporate profits are sky-high.[/quote]

Local places aren’t corporations. They’re still gouging consumers through the nose with prices.  Keep on blabbing about nebulous ‘corporations’….meanwhile the stupid restaurant owned by a local is charging you $20 for 8 chicken wings before tax and tip.  [/quote]

So what?  That's what it costs. They don't get any corporate incentives.  They charge what they have to charge to stay open. But at least money made in the community stays in the community and gets reinvested into the community.  I'll take that over a big corporation any day[/quote]

They're price gouging you and your response is 'so what'?  No, I actually feel less ripped off going to a Chipotle or Chick FilA than I do when I go to the local establishment charging $22 a burger, $16 for a cocktail, and $9 for a beer.  Local places are such a ripoff.[/quote]

This is how they get away with it. Americans are completely conditioned to be taken advantage of by the government and corporations and if you ask for absolutely anything , some people are too happy to be boot lickers  and say we don’t deserve for the government to actually care for society or for corporations to not extract every last cent of profit possible at the expense of human beings who have to pay for food and housing as like, part of life.
